Running - feeling light and athletic and not like a fat cow plodding along embarrassed on another desperate, pathetic, destined to fail diet and exercise routine. I am REALLY a runner! Wow. Its what I wanted most of all, dont know why.

Wearing a bikini and tiny running shorts, that's a great feeling and one I wanted.

Just being able to shop anywhere, buy anything. YOu dont realise how little freedom you have clothing wise when you're bigger.

There are a few things and something just came up last Friday.

Our furnace wasn't working. DH was not home. In order to avoid a call and $$ for HVAC guy to fix it we tried to troubleshoot.

One answer I had to get was the power switch near the furnace, was it on or off?

I didn't even know there was a switch. If there is why in the world would it be off? The blower is in the attic. I've never even been up there.

So there I am puling down the attic stairs and looking at the flimsy looking ladder steps and raling. I see a big sticker on it stating that the weight limit is 250. Serious bodily injury, breaking the stairs or DEATH could occur!

YIKES!

I went up a few steps....ok, holding....holding....I was able to peer into the attic but I wasn't going to brave the final boost....or the first step down.

We ran into the local Hvac guy and he fixed it for free.

I haven't had one of those moments for a few years.

The last time was wondering how I was going to get out of a friends above ground pool....the flimsy aluminum ladder .......

I can't wait for the band!

I want to not worry about chairs, ladders, bikes,

Basicaly I dont want to have to look for the weight limit for something.

Oh and it will be nice to get into an elevator without looking at the maximum weight limit and trying to calculate if I throw the weight over the limit.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
